The Methana volcano peninsula is situated approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) southwest of Athens in Greece.

In August 1922 there were numerous reports of a possible eruption in the Kaimeno Vouno crater, however, this still remains unconfirmed.

Methana is in the northwestern part of the group of Cycladic volcanoes that are considered active (Milos, Santorini and Nisyros).

Excavations have brought to light a village and sanctuary from Mycenaean times near the town of Methana at the chapel of Sts.

The ancient writers Ovid, Strabo and Pausanias described the historic eruption of the volcano dome near the village of Kameni Chora in the northwestern part of the Methana peninsula.
